I don't know about you, but when I ask my navigation system to plan a route, I need that info right away. JVC knows that, and they've more than doubled the speed of last year's models (which were already seriously fast). That means when you tap the KW-NT300's 6.1" touchscreen for directions, you'll have them before you even get up to the speed limit. And it's not just the navigation that's speedy — you can fly through your music library, too. Throw in built-in Bluetooth® and the ability to run iPhone® apps, and your time on the road just got easier.

Sharp touchscreen, plus snappy navigation info

I don't know about you, but when I ask my navigation system to plan a route, I need that info right away. JVC knows that, and they've more than doubled the speed of last year's models (which were already seriously fast). That means when you tap the KW-NT300's 6.1" touchscreen for directions, you'll have them before you even get up to the speed limit. And it's not just the navigation that's speedy — you can fly through your music library, too. Throw in built-in Bluetooth® and the ability to run iPhone® apps, and your time on the road just got easier.

Enhanced display, cool navigation views

JVC made the 6.1" monitor on the KW-NT300 their sharpest ever. It doesn't just make the maps look better — song info and menus are easier to read, too. Plus, you'll find some cool new ways to see where you are going. Junction View shows you a realistic depiction of an upcoming exit, complete with lane guides. The Picture In Picture view lets you see the big picture, plus a close-up detail. And 3D Landmarks shows you statues, skyscrapers, and other familiar structures to help you get around a city with confidence. Map text and texture come in crisp, clean, and easy to read.

Great for your iPhone

Once you plug your iPhone into the rear USB port, you've got a world of options at your fingertips. With the help of apps, you can stream your Pandora® Internet radio stations and see album art and station info on the 6.1" screen. You can also access hundreds of radio stations on iHeartRadio. Pass by an intriguing spot, but no time to stop? Your passenger can grab your iPhone and add points of interest to your in-dash navigation system.

Sounds fantastic, too

You'll get the tools you need to achieve great sound with the KW-NT300. It starts with Time Alignment, which adjusts the timing of each speaker so that all the sound reaches your ears at the same time, creating the illusion that you are sitting in the center and not the the driver's seat. Then you can adjust the robust 13-band equalizer to your liking, and use a sophisticated (but easy to use) crossover network to maximize the performance of your speakers and subs.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?

In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this JVC stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the KW-NT300, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Everything is disabled while driving

Mr. Drives A. Lot from Culpeper, VA on 6/2/2012

Everything seemed to be great with the radio until I started driving with it. Almost everything you can imagine is disabled while you are driving. You can't even change the sub woofer volume until you are stopped at a light( if you are quick enough)! If you drive a lot on the highway this radio will probably drive you crazy. Even if you don't you will find yourself trying hurry up to a light just to go through the list of albums on your usb dive. I have researched on a way to turn this off but there doesn't seem to be a way. I understand disabling some navigation and dvd features but that is about it.

Pros:The sound quality is very good. The system overall is very fast and responsive. The navigation has worked well so far but I haven't tried to use it in the d.c. area yet ( stress testing :-) )

Cons:When you receive a phone call on the bluetooth device the music doesn't pause. I find this very strange. Press pause on your music before you answer the phone. Other than that the big issue is virtually the whole system is disabled while driving.

Great Great product!!

After a lengthy self installation I have to say I am one very satisfied customer.
The KW-NT300 integrated perfectly with my iPhone 4 and my old 80gb classic iPod (using the accessory iPod cable).
I am NOT using an external amp. I'm depending solely on the 20watt RMS per channel amp built into this unit. Matched up to 5 1/4 component 4ohm speakers in the front and 6x8 in the back. All fairly cheap (but nice) Boston Acoustic speakers.
If I didn't know, I would definitely think that my car has an aftermarket amp. That is how good the sound is. I give a lot of credit to the JVC KW-NT300 head unit.
The navigation seems to be up there with the best. Sometimes a tad slow to start off, but after that it keeps right up.

Pros:- Intelligent and effective automatic audio tuning options.
- Fast boot time!!
- Responsive interface. No lag between screens.
- Good built in amp
- Easy to read LCD
- Easy to use interface. All options just make sense.
- Bluetooth integration with iPhone4 works flawlessly.
- GPS turn by turn voice directions are clear and very natural sounding.

Cons:
"Safety" features can be intrusive. I understand not being able to watch a movie while driving, but this unit also disables the ability to choose a play list from my iPod. It also HIDES the Artist and album name. All of those things are disabled or hidden if the parking break is not on.

Touchscreen Display

6.1" Touchscreen Display: The JVC KW-NT300 features a
fixed 6.1" wide, 16:9 touchscreen LCD monitor. The screen has a resolution of

full image height.

Auto: The correct aspect mode is automatically chosen
based on the incoming signal.

Parking Brake Detection: To prevent the displaying of video
while the vehicle is in motion, the light-green parking brake wire (within
22-pin harness) must be connected to your vehicle's parking brake detection circuit. While the vehicle is in motion (parking brake
off), you can still view many of the other display and menu functions.When driving at a speed greater than 3 miles-per-hour, some
menu screens are not available.

Onboard Navigation

Built-In Navigation (powered by NAVTEQ): The JVC KW-NT300
features a built-in GPS Navigation system with maps of the United States
(including Hawaii and Alaska), Canada, and Puerto Rico; powered by NAVTEQ Maps.
All map data is stored on the unit's 8GB SSD (sold state drive). The unit's
3-sensor navigation system
helps to pinpoint your vehicle's current location. Once a destination is set,
the unit provides turn-by-turn voice & visual guidance through your vehicle's
speakers and the unit's display monitor; using NAVTEQ navigation software.

Note: Car navigation maps are frequently updated. While
this database was judged to be as accurate as possible at the time of its
release, a map database can never be 100% accurate. Road information that is
maintained in the map databases, such as turn restrictions or road names may
change over time.

Map Updates:Map updates
via a micro SD/SDHC memory card can be purchased at the onlineNAVTEQ store.

The unit also comes supplied with a two-side self-adhesive pad if you are having
trouble finding a flat metal surface to mount the antenna. The GPS antenna can
be mounted inside the vehicle (on the dash) or outside the vehicle (on the roof
or trunk). The GPS antenna measures 1.3125" (w) x 0.5625" (h) x 1.4375" (d).

next street; the upper-left corner indicates the distance to your next maneuver. Your route is marked with a
light-blue line, while your vehicle is marked by a red
arrow (or car) on the screen, and checkered flag marks your destination. A magnified
view of the map is
displayed when approaching your next turn. When you reach
an area approximately within 90' around the destination/via point, the
navigation system considers you to have reached your destination/via point. If
you depart from the original route, the navigation system recalculates the route
and provides new directions. You can adjust the following map settings.

2D/3D Maps: You can changes the perspective of the
map from 2D North-Up (displays the map in 2 dimensions with North at the
top), 2D Heading-Up (displays the map in 2 dimensions with your direction

scroll the map screen left/right or up/down. You can also rotate a 3D map
screen 360-degrees.

the KW-NT300's screen. The unit offers 3 voice guidance languages including
English, Spanish and French; with adjustable volume (0-20).

Note: You can continue to listen to your music source

text-to-speech voice prompt. Once the voice prompt has ended, your music
volume will automatically raise to previous setting.

Lane Assist w/ Junction View: The Lane Assist function
guides you to the appropriate lane you should be in for upcoming junctions and
interchanges, while Junction View displays a realistic view of upcoming

Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change
functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may
need to reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If
this doesn't work, you may need to wait until a newer software update is
available.

Audio Section

MOSFET Amplifier: The KW-NT300 is equipped with a MOSFET
amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification
circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less
distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder
and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the
amplification circuit.

CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the KW-NT300
are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement
standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were
developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and
between manufacturers. The power output specs for the KW-NT300 are as follows:

Amplifier Gain Control:
When you are using the KW-NT300 with factory speakers (or those rated to less
than 50 watts peak), the Amplifier Gain Control can limit the amount of power
being sent to those speakers. When the Amp Gain Control is set to low, the
volume control ranges from 0 (minimum) to 30 (maximum). When using speakers
rated higher than 50 watts peak, you can set the Amp Gain Control to high, and
the volume control will range from 0 to 50. The internal amp can also be turned
off when all the speakers are powered by outboard amplifiers.

Volume Adjust: The input level of each source (other than
FM) is adjustable relative to the FM radio volume, so there isn't a significant
volume difference when changing sources. Each source is individually adjustable
from -5 to +5.

2.5V/6CH Preamp Output: The KW-NT300 is equipped with three
pair of 2.5V preamp outputs (Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The front & rear preamp
outputs offer balance/fade control and are designed to hookup to a full-range
4-channel amplifier. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading and designed to
hookup to a mono-block subwoofer amplifier. You can adjust the head unit's
subwoofer level between -50 and +10.

Digital Crossover Network: The KW-NT300 features a variable high pass crossover
for the front & rear speakers, as well as a low pass crossover for the
subwoofer.

Seated Position: for a better sound-stage you can
select your optimal listening position; choose from All, Front Left,
Front Right or Front

Time Alignment: manually fine tune the
sound stage by selecting the distance for each individual speaker in the
vehicle compared to your listening position; select between 1.6-16.4'
for the Left Front Speaker, Right Front Speaker, Left Rear Speaker,
Right Rear Speaker, and Subwoofer

Speaker Settings: You
can set the size and location of your vehicle's speakers.

Compressed Music Enhancers: The head unit offers several audio
adjustments dedicated to enhance the sound quality of your compressed
digital music.

Audio Contrast: sharpens vague sound to make the audio more realistic;
effective for compressed music data

D.T. Expander (Digital Track Expander): reproduces
the natural sound of digital audio sources by restoring data that was
lost and waves that were changed during audio compression to their
original states; effective for compressed music data

Driver Sound Improvements: The KW-NT300 features various audio
settings to help improve your driving and audio experience.

Start Up Sound Level:
starts the head unit with a volume lower than when the system was turned
off; you can then manually turn it up back to the previous level

Road Noise Compensation:
increases the volume of little sound that can be easily washed out by
road noise and boosts the bass

Reverse Audio Reduction: attenuates the receiver's
AV sound when you shift your vehicle into reverse, so you can
concentrate more on backing up your vehicle safely

Dynamic Range Compression: The dynamic range can be adjusted
by selecting either Normal, Wide or Dialog. Dialog makes the total sound volume
become larger as compared with Wide and Normal, allowing you to listen to the
movie's dialogue more clearly. This is effective only on Dolby Digital software.

Key-Touch Tone: The in-dash head unit provides an audible
beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.

AV Connections

Front-Panel Aux Input: A front-panel stereo minijack (3.5mm)
is provided to allow the connection of a portable audio source. Simply connect
your portable digital music player to the unit's front-panel auxiliary input,
and you can listen to the audio from the portable player through the speakers in
your mobile audio system

Audio/Video Input: The rear-panel audio/video input consists
of left and right RCA audio jacks and an RCA composite video jack, allowing you
to connect external equipment to this head unit. The audio/video input can be
set to one of the following modes.

AV: Choose when connecting an audio/video component.

Audio: Choose when connecting an audio component.

Off: Select when no component is connected.

Camera In: The rear-panel Camera
input consists of a composite video connector which allows you to connect an
optional rear-view camera (105KVCM10, sold separately). The unit features a reverse gear
signal wire (purple/white wire within 22-pin harness), that when connected to your vehicle's reverse light circuit, will
automatically switch the KW-NT300's display to the
rear-view camera input. Automatic video switching takes approximately 1.2
seconds.

Note: Audio from your music source will continue
playing, while the back-up camera is displayed.

Video Output: The rear-panel Video Output consists of a
composite video jack that allows you to connect an optional external monitor.
You can watch the same video source that is being played on the DVD
receiver on your connected external monitor. You can choose one of the following
monitor types for the output to the external monitor(s):

16:9: Select this when the aspect ratio of your monitor
is 16:9.

4:3 Letter Box: Select this when the aspect ratio of
your monitor is 4:3, when viewing a widescreen picture black bars appear on
the top and bottom of the screen.

4:3 Pan Scan: Select this when the aspect ratio of your
monitor is 4:3, when viewing a widescreen picture, the black bars do not
appear; however, the left and right edges of the picture will not be shown
on screen.

Remote Control

Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features
an OEM steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) within the
included wiring harness that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering
wheel remote controls when used with an optional
steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately). Please consult
Crutchfield's
Outfit My Car to see if your vehicle is compatible.
